No  Uncared-for  Tuberculosis  in  New  York  State  in  1915 


NO     UNCARED-FOR     TUBERCULOSIS     IN     1915 

THOUSANDS    OF    CONSUMPTIVES    IN     THIS 
STATE  ARE   NOW  UNCARED-FOR. 

Until  within  the  past  two  years,  outside  of  New  York 
City,  Rochester  and  Yonkers,  no  systematic  steps  were 
being  taken  for  the  Prevention  and  Control  of  Tubercu- 
losis— the  leading  cause  of  death,  poverty,  sickness  and  distress. 

The  State  is  now  awake. 

Much  has  been  accomplished  in  two  years. 

MORE  must  be  accomplished  in  the  next  few  years. 

THE  OBJECT  OF  THIS  CONFERENCE  IS 

To  put  before  the  Sixty  Local  Committees  on  the  Prevention 

of  Tuberculosis  of  the  State  Charities  Aid  Association,  and 
before  the  public  officials  and  the  people  of  the  State,  in  the 
strongest  possible  light,  a  comprehensive  program  for  the  provi- 
sion of  dispensaries,  nurses,  hospitals,  and  other  preventive 
agencies,  to  be  secured  in  the  next  five  years,  to  the  end  that  we^ 
may  have  in  New  York  State 

NO     UNCARED-FOR     TUBERCULOSIS     IN     1915 

At  the  same  time  we  wish  to  put  prominently  forward  a 
thoroughly  conservative  and  scientific  estimate,  endorsed  by  the 
highest  medical  authorities,  as  to  what  me  may  expect  to  accom- 
plish in 

The  Reduction  of  the  Tuberculosis  Death  Rate  by  1920: 

If  every  County  has  a  tuberculosis  hospital  or  sanatorium  by  1 9 1 5; 

If  every  City  and  every  village  has  a  visiting  nurse; 

If  every  City  and  every  Village  of  over  5,000  people  has  a  free 

dispensary; 
If  all  the  living  cases  of  tuberculosis  are  reported  to  the  health 

officer; 
If  every  living  case  is  in  a  hospital  or  sanatorium,  or  under 

proper  supervision  at  home; 
If  disinfection  after  every  removal  or  death  of  a  tuberculosis 

patient  is  thoroughly  done.

AWAKENING   A    STATE. 

Educational  Effort  in  the  joint  campaign  of  the  State 
Charities  Aid  Association  and  the  State  Department  of 
Health  during  the  past  two  years,  for  the  purpose  of 
widely  disseminating  the  knowledge  about  tuberculosis, 
has  included: 

Campaigns  in  connection  with  the  exhibition  of  the  State  Depart- 
ment of  Heahh  in  27  of  the  largest  cities ; 

Similar  small  exhibitions  shown  at  78  county  fairs  and  2  State  fairs 
and  in  24  villages ; 

Three  hundred  and  ninety-six  public  meetings  and  stereopticon  lec- 
tures have  been  held  at  which  the  total  attendance  has  been 
248,649,  and  the  total  number  of  speakers  766 ; 

Phonograph  lectures  on  tuberculosis  have  been  given  to  probably 
two  and  one-half  million  people,  who  have  attended  the  ex- 
hibitions and  the  fairs ; 

1,446,052  leaflets  have  been  distributed ; 

Sixty  permanent  local  committees,  including  in  each  case  the  most 
influential  citizens  of  the  localities,  have  been  established  in 
cities  and  villages  where  exhibitions  have  been  shown,  with 
a  total  membership  of  3,087 ; 

Six  hundred  and  ninety-one  press  notices  have  been  sent  out  weekly 
to  daily  and  weekly  papers.

TUBERCULOSIS  IS  A  PREVENTABLE  DISEASE 


NO  UNCARED-FOR  TUBERCULOSIS  IN  1915 


TUBERCULOSIS  CAN  BE  PREVENTED. 

Of  this  we  are  assured  by  the  highest  scientific  medical 
authority.  Professor  William  H.  Welsh,  of  Johns  Hop- 
kins University,  says: 

"  It  is  in  my  judgment  a  conservative  statement 
that  at  least  one-half  of  the  existing  sickness  and 
mortality  from  tuberculosis  could  be  prevented  within 
the  next  two  decades  by  the  application  of  rational  and 
entirely  practicable  measures,  and  I  believe  we  can 
look  forward  to  a  much  larger  success." 

Boston,  New  York  City  and  London  have  aheady  cut  in 
half  their  death  rates  from  tuberculosis. 

Why  should  not  the  smaller  cities  and  rural  communities, 
where  conditions  are  more  favorable,  do  likewise  ? 

To  cut  in  half  the  death  rate  from  tuberculosis  in 
New  York  State,  outside  of  New  York  City,  would  mean 
AN  ANNUAL  SAVING  OF  3,000  HUMAN  LIVES. 

Even  to  stamp  out  this  Disease  and  save  6,000 
human  lives  is  probably  possible.  The  fullest  and  heartiest 
co-operation  of  every  agency,  public  and  private,  and  of  every 
citizen  in  the  State,  is  needed  to  carry  out  this  program.  Every 
one  can  help  to  secure  in  his  own  city  or  county  a  visiting 
nurse,  a  free  dispensary,  a  city  or  county  hospital  and 
other  needed  relief. 

Will   you   help   to   carry  out 
the  Program  in  your  locality?
